  Hi there!

  Can you give me a link to a post that you’re having trouble with?

  [Sorry- I couldn’t figure out how to get back here!]
  1) I added a widget so this at least shows in the sidebar, now, but it should show up as a recent article on the front page and should also be sticky!

  None of the last three posts have shown up on the front page under recent articles.
  2) I have 6 posts designated to be sticky but only 2 are sticking.

  Hi there!

  Thanks for that info. It looks like most of your sticky posts don’t have big enough Featured Images. In order for a sticky post to display in the slider, the Featured Image must be at least 750 pixels wide. It looks like the specific post you linked to has a width of 640 pixels.

  Once you add bigger images to all of the sticky posts that aren’t appearing, they’ll be displayed in the slider again.

  Also, since the posts are sticky and in the slider, they won’t appear normally in the ‘Recent Posts’ section of your front page. They will only appear in the slider.

  I hope this clears things up. Let me know if I can explain anything further!

  That makes sense, now. It also explains why wordpress has been selecting random images when it posts my blogs to facebook!
  Thanks!

  That would do it! I hope this helps you make your site display the way you want. :)
